The Abomination 1987





A young southern boy finds himself a changed man. Cody is your typical white trash with some problems. Like all good old southern boys, he has an overbearing, albeit ill Mother, who eventually is the cause of his demise.

It seems as if good old Mom has a cancerous tumor deep inside her lungs. While watching a money hungry preacher on television late one night, she harks up this solid tumor, which in turn, takes shape as an ancient demon. The 'phlem demon' then resides inside the cupboards of the house where it eventually coherses young Cody to kill everyone in his path. Like most people who become brainwashed by cancerous tumor demons, Cody then brings back the body parts to the demon so he won't starve to death

The demon keeps getting fatter and Cody keeps killing.

There's buckets of blood in this one. There's a very gorey chainsaw decapitation scene and about thirty minutes of him waking up from the same nightmare...over and over and over and over...and over....and over.

Just when you think you've seen it all, you ain't seen shit. This is one of those films whose title fits the bill perfectly. An 'Abomination' is exactly what this little film is, but it's one of those good abominations. This is one of those rare must-see cases for the subject matter alone. It's not everyday you find yourself witnessing a deranged young man doing the evil bidding of his Mom's cancerous demon.

This is one hard mutha to find. I was lucky enough to find a copy at a friend of mine who used to own a video store. Like mentioned above, this is a case where you should pick it up if you ever run across it.
If you want something serious, don't even bother - but - if you're in the mood for some silly over-the-top gore and bad acting, with a sideshow of southern evangelist shenanigans, watch this instead of the Trinity Broadcasting Network - You'll get more spiritual fulfillment.

Highly recommended for the fan of no-budget attempts at movie making. BTW, the pictures were "borrowed from the one of the greatest sites on the internet. http://www.bleedingskull.com
